Kris, I didn't post to the other thread, b/c I took it for what it was -- a frustrated parent venting -- and honestly, I thought the post just deserved to be ignored. What you or anybody else writes on the internet really doesn't affect me, so I didn't care if you thought the officials were cheating; b/c I know there's a 99.999999% chance that they weren't.
Anyway, your cyber-life doesn't really affect anybody, but. . .

You (a professed official) yelled from the stands to the officials on the floor about how to do their jobs?
That is unacceptable. If you're watching/observing a game, you sit there and let the officials do their jobs, whether they do it well or poorly. If you have issues with their performance, you go to them -- as an
official, not a pissed-off parent -- after the game and
ask -- not preach to -- them about the situation(s) that concerned you.
This is unacceptable behavior from a fellow official. I'm not going to be melodramatic and say that you should be suspended or censured by your board. But you should go to your daughter's future games with the mentality that you cannot repeat the mistakes of this game. Remember that you are merely a fan at those games -- not an evaluator, not an assignor, not even an official -- and you have no business whatsoever, NONE, addressing the officials from the stands.
I'm off my soapbox. I don't want to offend you, honest. But I think that point is worth making in a very strong manner.

our player "fouled" her, even though she was completely straight up, because she had been told DO NOT FOUL BEHIND THE THREE POINT ARC.

Kris, you saw the play and I didn't, so if you say she was straight up, then I believe you. But I think it's pretty funny that you consider being told "DO NOT FOUL BEHIND THE THREE POINT ARC" as proof that she wouldn't have fouled the shooter. Because we've never seen a kid foul after being told "No fouls", right?
